[00:14] ---
    My name is Hagoromo…
[00:16] ---
    As the founder of Ninshu,
    the Ninja Creed…
[00:18] ---
    I am also known as
    The Sage of the Six Paths.
[00:22] ---
    You're The Sage of
    the Six Paths?
[00:25] ---
    Indeed I am.
[00:30] ---
    Right now, Naruto and
    Sasuke have taken on
[00:33] ---
    Ashura and Indra's souls and
    are battling my mother Kaguya…
[00:38] ---
    Ashura?
[00:41] ---
    You just called me
    the "previous reincarnate"?
[00:44] ---
    Yes…
[00:46] ---
    Ashura and Indra are my two sons.
[00:50] ---
    And Kaguya, the one who's
    fighting right now, is my mother.
[00:55] ---
    What?!
[00:56] ---
    So Ashura and Indra's souls
    are connected to you too.
[01:02] ---
    Their souls have transmigrated
    over and over again.
[01:05] ---
    The soul of Ashura was
    previously inside you,
[01:09] ---
    and Indra's soul was inside Madara.
[01:13] ---
    Inside of me?!
[01:14] ---
    Mother took advantage
    of their souls,
[01:17] ---
    and after an extraordinary
    length of time,
[01:19] ---
    she was resurrected.
[01:21] ---
    Right now, I know everything,
[01:24] ---
    even the intentions of
    the one called Zetsu,
[01:27] ---
    my mother's third son
    who possessed Madara.
[01:31] ---
    In order to save
    Naruto and Sasuke,
[01:33] ---
    you, too, must know everything
    that has occurred.
[01:38] ---
    Before I talk about
    Ashura and Indra,
[01:41] ---
    I must first explain the origin
    of Ninshu, the Ninja Creed.
[01:47] ---
    It was a few thousand years ago…
[01:49] ---
    My younger brother Hamura and I,
[01:52] ---
    sealed our mother Kaguya and
    the Ten Tails in the moon.
[02:01] ---
    Hamura went to the moon as well,
    so he could watch over Mother.
[03:39] ---
    Ninshu: The Ninja Creed
    
    
    
[03:46] ---
    Thank you for your help, Gamamaru.
[03:49] ---
    Without the Sage Power
    that you taught me,
[03:51] ---
    we couldn't have defeated Mother.
[03:53] ---
    You insist on leaving, sibling?
[03:56] ---
    Yes. There is something I must do.
[04:00] ---
    What are you going to do?
[04:02] ---
    My journey will have two purposes.
[04:05] ---
    The first…
[04:07] ---
    To find a dwelling place for each
    of the nine Tailed Beasts
[04:09] ---
    that I extracted from
    the Ten Tails.
[04:12] ---
    I want to make sure
    they don't fight amongst each other…
[04:15] ---
    and that people don't use
    their powers for evil.
[04:18] ---
    I intend to choose
    their homes very carefully.
[04:22] ---
    The second purpose is to
    restore this ravaged land.
[04:28] ---
    In our battles against Mother,
[04:29] ---
    we caused terrible damage
    to the land.
[04:33] ---
    I must atone for this crime.
[04:37] ---
    I see.
[04:39] ---
    Yes, that might be good to do.
[04:42] ---
    But the road ahead will be difficult.
[04:44] ---
    I am aware of that.
[04:46] ---
    You know,
    I had a dream last night.
[04:48] ---
    A dream?
[04:49] ---
    Toads rarely dream.
[04:52] ---
    When they do dream,
    it always comes true.
[04:55] ---
    Because a toad's dream
    is destiny.
[04:57] ---
    What did you dream?
[05:00] ---
    Far into the future,
    a blue-eyed youth will appear,
[05:04] ---
    who will amuse himself with
    the names of the nine beasts.
[05:07] ---
    I dreamed that
    he will call forth a miracle.
[05:10] ---
    Does that mean there will be
    another age of discord?
[05:13] ---
    I do not know.
[05:14] ---
    Will everything I do from now on,
    be meaningless?
[05:18] ---
    Don't worry.
[05:20] ---
    Fate is something
    you cannot escape.
[05:26] ---
    Go on your way.
[05:28] ---
    And if fate wills it,
    our paths shall cross again, sibling.
[05:33] ---
    Farewell.
[06:15] ---
    I guess this is my first test.
[06:20] ---
    Huh?
[06:31] ---
    Hey, hey, hey, hey!
[06:33] ---
    What are you doing?
[06:36] ---
    I'm going to fix the bridge.
[06:37] ---
    What?
[06:38] ---
    Why do something uncalled for?
[06:42] ---
    How is it "uncalled for"?
[06:43] ---
    The bridge is essential
    to everyone.
[06:46] ---
    Everyone needs it.
[06:48] ---
    That's why it's a problem
    for me if it's there.
[06:51] ---
    Oh… An interesting comment.
[06:54] ---
    Listen, because the bridge
    is broken,
[06:56] ---
    everyone stops right here.
[06:58] ---
    That's where I come in.
[07:00] ---
    I go over to the guy
    and take his belongings
[07:03] ---
    and offer to help him cross.
[07:07] ---
    Then, without a moment's hesitation,
[07:08] ---
    I make my getaway
    with his stuff.
[07:10] ---
    I may not look fast,
    but these legs never fail me.
[07:12] ---
    This is what I do for a living.
[07:16] ---
    I see.
[07:17] ---
    So you're a thief that uses
    this broken bridge to make a living.
[07:21] ---
    That's right.
    So just leave well enough alone.
[07:25] ---
    But it only benefits you.
[07:29] ---
    It's a hardship for everyone else.
[07:30] ---
    Hey! I said leave it alone.
    Do you understand me?
[07:43] ---
    Why are you going through
    all that trouble?
[07:45] ---
    This is to atone for my sins.
[07:48] ---
    So are you a criminal?
[07:51] ---
    Something like that.
[07:56] ---
    Oh man, I guess can't
    cross the bridge.
[08:00] ---
    Mister, you seem to be in a bind.
[08:03] ---
    Leave it to me,
[08:05] ---
    I'll take you to
    the other side of the river.
[08:07] ---
    - Oh!
    - I wouldn't, if I were you.
[08:09] ---
    That man's a thief.
[08:11] ---
    What?!
[08:14] ---
    Don't take me for a fool!
[08:19] ---
    Hey, you!
[08:20] ---
    Quit messing with my business!
[08:24] ---
    I'm not moving until
    I fix this bridge.
[08:27] ---
    You should go find
    another bridge.
[08:30] ---
    Don't be stupid!
[08:31] ---
    Thieves like me have
    our own territory…
[08:34] ---
    I can't just go somewhere else.
[08:36] ---
    Well then,
    why don't you help me?
[08:39] ---
    I'll leave once the bridge
    is finished.
[08:42] ---
    Quit messing around!
[08:44] ---
    I see.
[08:46] ---
    Then there's nothing more to say.
[08:47] ---
    You can wait until
    the bridge is fixed.
[09:13] ---
    Damn it!
[09:14] ---
    Fine, I'll just get in his way…
[09:21] ---
    That bastard…
[09:24] ---
    Just where does that
    brute strength come from?
[10:23] ---
    Damn it!
[10:26] ---
    Hey! Get it together!
[10:30] ---
    We've got to work fast or the logs
    you went to great lengths to gather
[10:32] ---
    will just get washed away.
[10:34] ---
    Oh…
[10:34] ---
    You're going to help me?
[10:36] ---
    I just want you to go away
    as soon as possible.
[10:40] ---
    And once the bridge is done,
    I'm gonna destroy it.
[10:44] ---
    My name is Hagoromo.
[10:47] ---
    And I'm Futami.
[10:48] ---
    Nice to meet you, Futami.
[11:06] ---
    Ouch!
[11:07] ---
    What are you doing?
[11:08] ---
    Can't you tell?
[11:10] ---
    I'm building a bridge!
[11:11] ---
    You're a thief, right?
[11:13] ---
    Doing that won't make all
    the bad stuff you did go away!
[11:16] ---
    Shut up! Get lost, brat!
[11:23] ---
    Now, you're just like me.
[11:25] ---
    I'm not like you.
[11:27] ---
    I'm not doing this
    for atonement.
[11:30] ---
    I'm telling you…
[11:31] ---
    When it's done,
    I'm gonna destroy it.
[11:52] ---
    All that work and we're only
    one-third of the way done…
[11:55] ---
    Breaking it apart is easy,
[11:57] ---
    but building it back up
    is backbreaking work.
[12:01] ---
    Something this sturdy
    won't be easy to break.
[12:05] ---
    That's true.
    If we make it too sturdy…
[12:09] ---
    you'll break your bones for sure
    when you try to destroy it.
[12:17] ---
    Hey you! Don't touch those logs!
[12:19] ---
    We're using 'em to fix the bridge!
[12:22] ---
    We'll help you.
[12:24] ---
    Huh?
[12:24] ---
    Since we're going to be
    the ones using the bridge.
[12:30] ---
    You gotta be careful.
[12:32] ---
    Just grab a smaller one.
[12:33] ---
    Okay!
[12:52] ---
    It's finished!
    We did it! We did it!
[12:55] ---
    The bridge is finished!
[13:00] ---
    This is awesome!
[13:04] ---
    It's done, eh?
[13:06] ---
    A bridge worth the effort to destroy.
[13:08] ---
    Are you kidding me?!
[13:09] ---
    After all the work we put into it,
    there's no way I'd destroy it.
[13:16] ---
    You did a good thing.
[13:18] ---
    And it's time for me to move on
    to a new place.
[13:22] ---
    Take care of yourself, Futami.
[13:31] ---
    Hey, wait up!
[13:33] ---
    I'm coming with you!
[13:35] ---
    Oh?
[13:37] ---
    I thought that bridge
    was where you lived.
[13:40] ---
    With an awesome bridge
    like that,
[13:43] ---
    my business is shot to hell!
[13:48] ---
    When you do a good deed,
[13:50] ---
    people are grateful and
    it's a good feeling.
[13:53] ---
    And because it feels good,
    you do more good deeds.
[13:57] ---
    That's the cycle of goodness.
[14:00] ---
    When you put it that way…
    you're right.
[14:03] ---
    You have a way with words.
[14:06] ---
    By the way,
    I didn't ask you before, but…
[14:09] ---
    Who are you anyway?
[14:15] ---
    I once wreaked havoc
    upon this world.
[14:19] ---
    Several years ago,
    there were many occurrences
[14:22] ---
    of giant tsunami and
    volcanic eruptions here and there.
[14:25] ---
    Don't tell me you caused them?
[14:30] ---
    Come on, there's no way
    one person could've done that!
[14:33] ---
    Besides, if you were that strong,
[14:35] ---
    you could've fixed that
    bridge in an instant,
[14:38] ---
    instead of working and
    sweating so hard.
[14:41] ---
    I decided never to use
    excessive power again.
[14:45] ---
    Otherwise, I wouldn't be able
    to understand how people feel.
[14:48] ---
    Put your hand out.
[14:56] ---
    What is this?
[14:58] ---
    I feel power surging into me.
[15:00] ---
    I just passed my power to you.
[15:03] ---
    Power?
[15:04] ---
    Yes…
[15:05] ---
    Or maybe I should say chakra.
[15:08] ---
    It is, so to speak, the power to
    connect people to each other.
[15:10] ---
    That's the kind of power
    I want it to be.
[15:14] ---
    And you passed it on to me?
[15:17] ---
    Yes. But it's not something
    I can give to just anyone.
[15:21] ---
    I've come to feel
    very close to you.
[15:25] ---
    You have learned
    what a good heart is.
[15:32] ---
    What are you doing?
[15:33] ---
    Please, make me your apprentice!
[15:36] ---
    My apprentice?
[15:37] ---
    Yeah!
[15:39] ---
    I feel something very special
    in you…
[15:42] ---
    I've lived a meaningless life.
[15:45] ---
    My entire life's been worthless!
[15:47] ---
    But you're different.
[15:49] ---
    You're someone who
    can do great things!
[15:52] ---
    So…if I stay with you,
[15:54] ---
    maybe my insignificant life will
    start to show a little value.
[15:58] ---
    So you want to be helpful
    to others now?
[16:01] ---
    When we finished that bridge…
[16:03] ---
    All those happy people
    and their smiles…
[16:06] ---
    I've never been prouder
    in my whole life.
[16:08] ---
    I'll never forget the look
    on their faces!
[16:11] ---
    I'm positive that that's the bond
    that you spoke of…
[16:15] ---
    I mean, Master Hagoromo.
[16:20] ---
    You just taught me something
    very important.
[16:25] ---
    I think my journey has found
    another important purpose.
[16:30] ---
    A third purpose.
[16:32] ---
    People bonding through chakra.
[16:50] ---
    Mister, hey Mister!
[16:52] ---
    You in a bind because
    the bridge is broken?
[16:55] ---
    I can help you cross
    to the other side…
[16:59] ---
    Hey, you!
[16:59] ---
    What are you doing here?!
[17:01] ---
    This is my turf!
[17:04] ---
    We're going to rebuild this bridge!
[17:07] ---
    Huh? What the hell are you saying?
[17:09] ---
    Listen up!
[17:10] ---
    From today, you're gonna
    become a good person!
[17:13] ---
    Did you hit your head
    or something?
[17:21] ---
    In time, albeit slowly…
[17:23] ---
    I found people who understood
    my way of thinking.
[17:29] ---
    And some among them joined me
    on my journey to help people.
[17:39] ---
    From around this time,
    I made them my apprentices…
[17:43] ---
    and passed on my chakra.
[17:46] ---
    I named this bond
    "Ninshu, the Ninja Creed."
[17:52] ---
    I trained with my apprentices…
[17:55] ---
    and continued to ponder…
[17:58] ---
    What is life? What is love?
[18:03] ---
    What is power?
[18:06] ---
    We believed that someday, this bond
    with people through chakra
[18:10] ---
    NINSHU
    
    would lead to world peace.
[18:14] ---
    We continued our travels
    for a long time.
[18:18] ---
    Restoring places that were
    nearly destroyed for no reason…
[18:24] ---
    And when we found a place
    in those areas
[18:26] ---
    where we could release
    the Tailed Beasts,
[18:30] ---
    we built a shrine for the purpose
    of guarding them.
[18:38] ---
    Many of my pupils scattered
    to different regions
[18:42] ---
    to repair the land in my place.
[18:46] ---
    And in this manner, Ninshu,
[18:48] ---
    the Ninja Creed, spread to
    each corner of the world.
[18:52] ---
    And later, on my deathbed,
[18:55] ---
    I sent the Tailed Beasts that had been
    inside me to their respective lands.
[18:59] ---
    Praying that they would be able
    to spend their days in peace…
[19:06] ---
    I will not live much longer…
[19:09] ---
    Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu,
    Son Goku, Kokuo,
[19:14] ---
    Saiken, Chomei, Gyuki, and Kurama…
[19:18] ---
    Even if you are far apart,
    you will always be together.
[19:22] ---
    And eventually,
[19:23] ---
    there will come a time
    when you will be united again.
[19:25] ---
    Each of you with a unique name…
[19:27] ---
    and a different form
    than before.
[19:30] ---
    And unlike when
    you were inside of me,
[19:33] ---
    you will be guided down
    the right path.
[19:35] ---
    I hope you learn
    what true strength is…
[19:39] ---
    before that time…
[19:48] ---
    But as you know,
    contrary to my hopes…
[19:51] ---
    Throughout this long history,
    men appeared one after another,
[19:55] ---
    with the desire to use
    Tailed Beasts for evil purposes…
[20:00] ---
    which turned the Tailed Beasts
    against mankind.
[20:06] ---
    Anyway, back to my story.
[20:07] ---
    We continued our long journey.
[20:11] ---
    When at last,
    I fulfilled my three goals,
[20:14] ---
    I returned to my village
[20:18] ---
    and made it the headquarters
    of Ninshu.
[20:22] ---
    I married and fathered two sons.
[20:28] ---
    They were Indra and Ashura.
[20:32] ---
    Their mother had a difficult recovery
    after giving birth to Ashura…
[20:37] ---
    and she passed away
    shortly after.
[20:39] ---
    But my two sons grew up
    strong and healthy.
[20:43] ---
    They were close siblings.
[20:46] ---
    The older one was especially caring
[20:48] ---
    and the younger one was always
    chasing after his brother.
[20:56] ---
    But at the time, I didn't realize
[21:01] ---
    that a dark force
    was already at work
[21:06] ---
    trying to manipulate my sons…
[22:48] ---
    At the time,
    
    
[22:50] ---
    my Ninshu did not have
    a practical application for fighting yet.
    
    
[22:54] ---
    My original intent for it was
    to help bring souls together.
    
    
[22:57] ---
    But due to Indra's innovations,
    
    
[23:00] ---
    the course of Ninshu
    was drastically changed.
    
    
[23:05] ---
    Next time on Naruto Shippuden:
    "Ashura and Indra"
    
    
    
[23:10] ---
    He was one who was worthy
    of being called the "Genius of Ninshu."
    
    
    
[23:14] ---
    ASHURA AND INDRA
    
    
    
[23:15] ---
    Tune in again!
